Publisher's summary

I found inspiration to pen another children’s book just this morning (November 20, 2023). This time, it draws from the lives of my father, Mr. Stifford John Snow, a farmer in Coker, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, and my Uncle-in-law, Mr. Vinrow Small, from St. Mary, Jamaica. And so, I have chosen to entitle it The Rasta Farmer.

The purpose of writing this book is to pay homage to these two remarkable individuals my biological father, Mr. Stifford John Snow and my Uncle-in-law, Mr. Vinrow Small, who raised me from the age of twelve (12) to twenty-six (26) years old.

It’s because my dad’s story has never been told so I decided to share the story of my dad through the lens of my creative writing. It also explores how my father’s Rastafarian lifestyle profoundly influenced my own life.

It’s also about how he being Rasta influenced my life and to pay homage to my dad because I love my biological dad and my dad who raised me very much.

Both of them are getting older but I want them to know that through my work they are both appreciated. The Bible says to honour your father and mother so that thy days on this earth you shall live long.

I dedicate this book to my dads, both of whom I love dearly, and to all Rastafarian fathers out there teaching the principles of ital livity to their daughters.

The Bible says to honor your father and your mother so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you [Exodus 20:12]. Through this book, I am attempting to do just that.

I want my fathers to know how much they are valued and appreciated, how, despite being looked down upon for being Rasta, their unique identity made them stand out to me. I want to tell them that it is their distinct Rastafarian ethos that taught me the power of hard work and determination, illustrating how, with these qualities, one can create things from nothing and transform ideas into reality.

This is precisely the message I aim to convey through The Rasta Farmer: how, with just an idea, one can dream and create anything imaginable.
